Hired as customer service reps, these freelancers were instead tasked with luring in the lonely and lovestruck through a network of dating and hookup sites.

And I thought those camgirl profiles on Tinder were bad
I haven't been on the meetup apps since COVID, and I've never used the pay-to-chat sites, but I remember like 5 times in a row I matched with cleverly designed fakes. people who had realistic profiles and could talk, but would suddenly try to move the conversation to some pay-to-chat / age verification site that needed my CC numbers.
I'm sure I'm in the demo for easily duped tech illiterate, because I'm old. but it really started to seem like that entire world of the internet... the dating/hookup/lonely apps is like +90% scams.
I eventually realized the experience of using those apps was making me feel more isolated than just being single.
